Re: Listening/ reading/ viewing recs - pregnancy, birth, parenting

  • I've read four books - I would say Expecting Better by Emily Oster and the Mayo Clinic Guide to Pregnancy were the most useful. Expecting Better is shorter and covers a lot; Mayo Clinic is more extensive.

    I consumed so much birthing and pregnancy content when I was a FTM. My favorite book was Like A Mother by Angela Garbes. For anyone who will be attending your birth, especially people who have never been to a birth or given birth, I cannot recommend highly enough The Birth Partner by Penny Simkin. 
  • Honestly, just following a few birth educators and doulas on Instagram has taught me so much. Quick tips in small doses have been easier to digest.

  • I liked “Big Little Feelings” on Instagram for toddler stuff. Helped me get into a gentle parenting mindset early.
